Hi Kausik, >From my experience, Ubuntu will ask you to update to next version in synaptic manager stating " upgrade is available for download". If you click yes automatically update the previous version. On my part I prefer to re-intall new version using like LFY CD and update it to avoid confliction. Cheers. -sriranga(76yrsold)
